Temperature-sensitive goods without affecting
their quality and efficiency from A to B.It is
challenging to ship temperature-sensitive items.
They should be kept at the right temperature
through transit. Extreme temperature can alter
the quality of the deliverables, whether you are
shipping food or pharmaceuticals. For example,
flowers can get droopy if they face an extremely
hot environment while freezing temperatures can
discolor and shorten their life as well. Even a
minor as 2 degrees Celsius can affect the quality
or efficiency of the pharmaceutical or medical
goods. Therefore, it is important to ship them in
a temperature-controlled environment. And these
steps will help you in this context.

1Choose the Right Packaging

• Foil Bubble Bags and Lined Boxes
• This type of packaging is right when your
  products need to be kept below 5C. For added
  control, foil-lined bags can be lined with gel
  packs or cool packs.
• Polystyrene Boxes
• This type of packaging is ideal for the products
  to be kept frozen below -18C for 24 hours. They
  work best when lined with dry ice, gel packs or
  cool packs.
• Insulated Carry Bags
• Insulated carrier bags are used for chilled goods
  like wine or food and let your customers take
  them home before they warm up.

2Choose Your Carrier Carefully

• Work with a carrier that is experienced in the
  shipping of the goods you have. No matter how
  efficient packaging you choose, the last thing to
  worry about the ill-handling of the carrier.
• Minimize the risk by picking up a carrier that
  has vast experience and expertise as well to
  handle temperature-sensitive commodities. It is
  better if your logistics partner has access to
  temperature-regulated facilities to keep your
  consignment in the required temperature.
• Make sure to choose a fast shipping option for
  perishable goods like food and flowers. They
  should be shipped early in the week to avoid
  delays or stays.

3Get Educated on the Rules Regulations

8

• FDA and DEA have imposed several restrictions on
  temperature-controlled medical goods like
  medicines, biological substances, and specimens.
  Your chemical shipments may be subjected to
  federal hazardous materials regulations.
• Dry ice also calls for attention, as its a
  dangerous substance. In the USA, non-medical
  shipments that include more than 2.5 kg or 5.5
  pounds of dry ice must follow the regulations set
  by the Code of Federal Regulations and
  International Air Transportation Association,
  depending on the mode of shipment. The point is
  here that you should learn about the guidelines
  applied to the temperature-controlled goods as
  well as their shipping methods.

4Assess the Temperature of Goods Throughout
Transportation

10

• Keep a temperature monitoring device within your
  healthcare shipment to verify that it can get
  within the required temperature range throughout
  transit and storage.
• A high tech monitoring device lets you track the
  condition of your goods around the clock. Plus,
  it notifies you if the temperature is interrupted
  or fluctuated. You can also ask your logistics
  company to provide temperature monitoring during
  shipment.
• So you must have understood how to ship your
  goods at the right temperature. It takes you to
  choose the right packaging, experienced logistics
  company, and right packaging.
